I'm disgusted to see iphone 5s as #1. The thing is "Alright", but these days it doesn't really stand up to the competition. I can't tell if this is "we put it at the top because it's newest" or just blatantly silly adoration of apple.

Bingo, it's a great device, but it's not even in the top 5 best devices of 2013. All that it has going for it is a fingerprint scanner, other than that it is nothing "special". It's not even remotely competitive hardwarewise. I wonder how much apple paid for this spot.

It's not even remotely competitive yet it crushes the others.
I know phonearena is made up of 90% android fans of which 70% will never admit when beaten.
I use a sgs3, but I had to admit that those apple engineers really know their stuff. A 1.3ghz dual core outperforming a 2.3ghz quad core is just glorious!

It's not about the Pebble itself, but about the Pebble leading the industry into a future that will flourish better, improved, higher standard smart watches. Note: read descriptions ("For heralding us into the era of smartwatches")

I thought its about the "innovations that comes with them"? HTC One, Xperia Z1 (already available) and LG G2 are all products of innovations...Iphone 5S and S4 both S stands for same, fingerprint scanner? Hmm.!! IOS7? Hmm..!! Just d same as android platform..

U have justified, these all mad android lovers are ignoring the fingerprint scanner, 64 bit processor, dual led flashlight and all the cool stuff iphone 5s has
They are blind and can see nothing but android

I detest. The G2 out of the picture? So how can we believe in your review ratings? The G2 got the highest yet not included? That's absurd. Misleading. When you said favorites...you meant "favorites" indeed huh? Heck what...we should have known better. Do we smell paid ads here? SHUT UP & GET REAL.

Um....really....the Iphone 5s and an ouya?!.....forget the G2 for having the thinnest bezel and reinvented buttons....forget the Z1 for being submersible and the Xperia Tablet Z for being waterproof as well.....forget the HTC One for getting the title "Best Smartphone ever built" as of yet...

Well, they are saying it's a list of their "favourite" devices, not a list of the "best" devices. I expect a fair amount of bias to this list, as they are simply stating their preferences, along with a reason for that pick. It's entirely possible that despite there being a technical superior device, they still prefer something else.

For example: Sit me down with either a Galaxy S4 or a G2 on one hand, or my Nexus 4 on the other, I will pick the Nexus 4 every time. I know it's technically inferior, but I still prefer it.

I'm the first guy to come down on PA when they do a crappy review, but this isn't being portrayed as a review. It is simply a collective opinion.

Okay you hit the keys brother. Keep calm. It's a freedom world. Everyone have that hell of a right to give personal preferences. Forget the reviews & get frolic. I'm inviting the reviewer to come & sit down, Lets do a spelling game... Mr. Reviewer can you spell the word... INCONSISTENT? Huhumm... Do you need help?

Don't forget the HTC One, the hero device that HTC needs to stay in business that they poured all of their design prowess into, the device that debuted their completely revamped and clean Sense 5 interface, and the device that went against the megapixel race to achieve nearly unmatched low light performance. It has definitely proven it's worth more than the iPhone 5S has, which, like you said, has only been out for a week.

Also, has PA forgotten that 2013 isn't even over yet? The Nexus 5, Nexus 10, iPad 5, iPad mini 2, and the mystery Motorola tablet haven't been released yet. This article is 3 months early.

They did say they'll update the list as they go on, but for Victor to ignore Motorola's innovation and instead include a failed, beta console and a phone that's been dismissed as the opposite of innovative by many is puzzling, to say the least.

And yeah, the One definitely has one unique feature I like: it actually takes phone speakers seriously. I'm not a fan of Sense 5, honestly, but the rest is very, very nice.

This entire list is crap...The Pebble should be ahead of the crap-phone 5S. It is amazing how Apple can do nothing but redress the same piece of junk in new clothes, add 1-2 relevant new features and be hailed as the greatest invention since the wheel. What a joke!
